While user interfaces in microwave CAE software have remained relatively stable, important strides have been made in simulation technology. Today, more designs incorporate integrated chip, package, module and board systems which are more difficult to design, analyze, debug and deliver in high-volume than the typical design of 10 years ago.

A New Philosophy for Mil-Specs on Microwave Components (MWJ December 1962)
by Leo Gumina This reprint from December 1962 discusses how the demands imposed by systems requirements had made it necessary to provide components which are not only extremely reliable but which are completely described in respect to their electrical, mechanical and environmental characteristics. span>
A Test and Measurement Retrospective — 75 Years of Rohde & Schwarz
by Rohde & Schwarz This is the story of how a two-man laboratory grew into a global
group of companies, how international success was achieved and how it is all connected to the history of microwaves.
The MTT Symposia by Ted Saad A look at the first 25 years of the MTT National Symposium (IMS) written by MWJ founding editor Ted Saad. Copyright 1983 IEEE. Reprinted from IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, Vol. MTT-31, no. 9, September 1983, The MTT Symposia, Theodore S. Saad.
A Few Personal Remarks on the Evolution of Computational Electromagnetics by Zoltan J. Cendes, Ansoft Corporation I remember reading the Microwave Journal as a graduate student in the Microwave Lab at McGill University in Montreal in 1969. Then, as now, the Microwave Journal was filled with articles
VNA Evolution - A European Perspective by Michael Hiebel, author of Fundamentals of Vector Network Analysis Many years ago when our grandfathers used slotted lines to analyze networks, they may have dreamed of simpler, less cumbersome instruments.
Microwave Journal teams with Besser Associates, the leader in RF/microwave training, in this series of online courses in RF/microwave principles for working professionals.
This presentation provides a brief review of the system architectures, principles involved, and techniques applied, in mobile WiMAX, UMTS's HSPA and LTE, and CDMA2000's EV-DO mobile broadband access (MBWA) systems.
